The Maximum Security Book Club

More about the book

Exploring the transformative power of literature, Mikita Brottman initiates a book club with inmates at Jessup Correctional Institution. Through ten challenging classics, including works by Conrad, Shakespeare, and Poe, she aims to engage her unique students in deep discussions about morality, identity, and the human condition. This experience not only enriches the convicts' perspectives but also profoundly impacts Brottman, revealing the redemptive potential of storytelling in unexpected places.
